A few seconds later, Aiden stormed into the room, his face like a dark thundercloud. He stopped beside Meryn and looked down at his mate. "How could you!" he roared.
Even Declan flinched at Aiden's ire. Meryn on the other hand looked undisturbed. Kari had a feeling she had been roared at before.
Meryn's eyes widened. "What did I do?" she asked.
"Don't act like you don't know," he seethed.
She shook her head. "I, no shit, have no idea what you're talking about." Aiden looked at her face and saw her confusion. "Well, if you didn't, who did?"
"Who did what?" she demanded.
Aiden took a deep breath and looked at Gavriel. "It seems as though Sascha Baberiov, Gamma's unit leader, was arrested today."
Bethy gasped, covering her mouth with her hands. Gavriel just stared before he looked at Meryn. "What did you do?" he asked.
"I am finding the lack of faith in me disturbing," Meryn protested.
"Why was he arrested?" Bethy finally asked.
"Things," Aiden said, a flush working it's way up his neck.
"Things?" Meryn prompted.
Aiden swallowed, his face becoming redder by the second. "It's personal," he stuttered.
"Personal?" A wicked grin crossed Meryn's face. "Now I have to know. Either you tell me more, or I will text Colton," she threatened.
Aiden began rubbing his hands over his face. When he stopped, he stared at the floor. "The local sheriff received a complaint from one of the farmers that a man was seen on his property doing something with one of his animals."
"Oh my gods," Beth whispered with a horrified expression. Gavriel's face was unreadable.
"Animal?" Meryn asked. "Did he kill a cow or something and was, like, eating?"
Aiden shook his head slowly. Kari watched the Unit Commander, wondering if he became any redder, would he pass out.
"The... the report says..." Aiden paused. "Um something else."
"Oh for gods' sake, Aiden, just say it!" Meryn ordered.
"Sascha was arrested as a person of interest in the ongoing investigation regarding indecent liberties taken with livestock. The culprit was seen masturbating on the farmer's pig."
Kari was afraid to breathe; the silence in the room had become unbearably thick.
"What?" Meryn whispered.
"I can see why you thought Meryn was behind this," Gavriel said, his lips twitching violently.
Aiden looked down at his mate. "Are you sure you didn't have anything to do with this?"
Meryn held up a hand as she stared, unblinking. "Give me a second; I'm enjoying this." She slowly shook her head "I'm not saying it's not a hella cool idea, but I..." Her eyes grew round. She pulled out her phone, and her small fingers flew over its surface. She looked up, smiled at Aiden, and giggled nervously as she waited for a reply. Seconds later, her phone vibrated, and she looked down. Her eyes widened, and she began to laugh. Soon, she was laughing so hard she could barely breathe. When she almost toppled off one side, Rex reached over and grabbed her, securing her in her seat. Everyone stared at her in shock. She waved her phone around, laughing hysterically.
"Meryn, what is it?" Bethy asked. Meryn just shook her head. Finally, Ryuu stepped forward and plucked the phone from her hand. He looked down, and a smile crossed his lips. "Young Master Noah evidently is the one that submitted the report on the Sheriff's system," he informed them in a conversational tone.
Aiden blinked. "Can he do that?" Meryn nodded. "Why would he do that?" he asked. "I thought he was one of your minions."
Meryn wiped her eyes. "Exactly."
Aiden collapsed into his seat, looking exhausted. "As usual, I have no idea what you're saying."
